Good ol' Canadian boy.

Where would DB rank on our all time d-line list? Would be interested to see everyone's top 5

I see the logic in that. I would also be ok with not extending him and make next year a prove it year. If he 'proves it' then he gets paid a year earlier. That said, BY and his agent might not play on the last year of their deal.. but I dont think BY has that leverage.

The Burns contract is this exact situation. His age and position required top of the market contract. Yet we all knew he was not playing to that. So we let him go and het got that elsewhere. But now as the GM you need to fill that void... and you better not fug it up. BY will be the same situation on repeat... There is no option for a middle tier QB contract. Walk or sign for big money.. but keep in mind, We all said Darnold sucked. We all said Baker sucked. What are you going to do...

Yeah this kind of discussion really seems to be from people that dont understand the business of football. There is never a negotiation that is "well you're the 3rd best LT / DE / QB in football so we will only pay you the 3rd most" Remember JC Horn, he was the highest paid CB in football for like 5 minutes, now he's is like #5. This offseason he will be #15. No point stressing about this.

Im always amazed at these conversations still in 2025. The math is always simple. Mid 20's player + top 15 in their position = new record setting contract. Its literally that simple.

Man talking ball on THIS website... who would have thought!

More so on what his overall philosophy is. Like how he likes to use the line and LB's. How he runs his zone coverage. Why he keeps Horn only on the sort side of the field.. That kind of thing. We have some X and O guys here.. was looking for an informed football discussion.

I know we have a few film study people in this group.. Last year was infuriating (with no players) this year you can start to 'see it' coming together.. and like Mr Scott said, Evero is likely here to stay. Can someone do a deep dive in the philosophy of this defense and how its supposed to work? .. the deeper the dive the better

Hate to break it to you.. but most players dont have a lofty and lovely end to their NFL career.. dude got paid millions and now has a TV career because of it.. I dont feel bad that the team moved on from a washed up QB.

Dude.. that doesn't look far off.. And sure, Cam looks like he threw for slightly more yards.. if you watched him you could see him arm was broken... you cannot sign him to a new record breaking contract with that.

No one is making the argument that Cam was a better QB in every aspect than BY. BY's super power was supposed to be his decision making... and we can see how that has played out..

Agree 100% Cam was a superstar that wasn't ready to acknowledge that he was no longer that. I don't even blame him for that. Cam could at least say he deserved to get paid cause of who he was. But glad the team didn't resign him.

People forget that it was reported HE WAS NOT GOING TO PLAY OUT HIS DEAL.. and he wanted a new deal. So the decision is, pay him a new top of the league contract for a QB with a busted arm.. or let him go. ...It was time to let him go.

The trauma is real tho.. lets just start collecting QB's

I have too much trauma of us cutting 1st round QB's only to see them do well elsewhere.. I would bang the drum to keep him and bring in other QB's for a true QB battle. Canales like to take credit for Russel Wilson.. well then do what you did his rookie year and create a true camp battle.

Just fug off with that.. Cam at the beginning of his career dealt poorly with hardships. I dont think thats a big issue saying. I also get how his whole persona and how he carried himself/dress was not everyone's ideal. Regardless Cam was appreciated by basically every fan for his contributions to the team. We had some pretty special years with him. But this whole "we deserve this" cause we cut a QB that couldn't throw the ball anymore is ridiculous and tiring.

Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.

Seemed to work pretty good in Indy this year..

Explain this to me. Why wouldnt they just let him play out the contract?

IMO 2027 is the year we draft a QB. But for 2026 we should bring in a vet or 2 AND Bryce. Canales says he wants to promote competition.. let them duke it out. Top 2 make the team. I honestly done care who wins, but whoever does is on a short leash.

We are going to cook. Lets put the league on notice.

I also went on record saying the highest rated WR would be good as well... Jokes aside.. he is a difference maker.

I like DC. I liked that after game 2 last year - which was game 2 as him being a head coach, he benched Young. I like that he has those balls. I was then confused when he didnt start to feature Rico after his run. DC is in a tough place with Young. He has an offence he wants to run but a QB that cannot do it. So do you bend to try to work with what Young can do.. or force your system?

.... my dude... its time to move on..
